Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
PCI: pnv_php: Clean up allocated IRQs on unplug<br />
<br />
When the root of a nested PCIe bridge configuration is unplugged, the<br />
pnv_php driver leaked the allocated IRQ resources for the child bridges&#39;<br />
hotplug event notifications, resulting in a panic.<br />
<br />
Fix this by walking all child buses and deallocating all its IRQ resources<br />
before calling pci_hp_remove_devices().<br />
<br />
Also modify the lifetime of the workqueue at struct pnv_php_slot::wq so<br />
that it is only destroyed in pnv_php_free_slot(), instead of<br />
pnv_php_disable_irq(). This is required since pnv_php_disable_irq() will<br />
now be called by workers triggered by hot unplug interrupts, so the<br />
workqueue needs to stay allocated.<br />
<br />
The abridged kernel panic that occurs without this patch is as follows:<br />
<br />
